In 1996 a structured questionnaire, relating to services provided, was completed by 12 agencies providing support to families with HIV in London. A wide range of information, practical and therapeutic services were available from these agencies but these usually had a primary focus on supporting the adults in these families. Only one agency had been set up specifically to offer a direct service for children within their own home or community. Services for children within most agencies consisted of organized child care or social activities, often provided to enable parents to access other services at the centre. Concern was frequently expressed that the normal and emotional needs, especially of older children, were not being met. Many children attending events at these agencies were unaware of the diagnosis or the reasons for attending these centres. Implications are discussed on how future development of services in the voluntary and statutory sector will need to address the specific and changing needs of infected and affected children.
1996年，伦敦12家为感染艾滋病毒的家庭提供支持的机构填写了一份与所提供服务相关的结构化问卷。这些机构提供了广泛的信息、实用和治疗服务，但通常主要侧重于支持这些家庭中的成年人。只有一家机构专门设立，为儿童在其家中或社区提供直接服务。大多数机构为儿童提供的服务包括有组织的儿童保育或社交活动，通常是为了让家长能够使用中心的其他服务。人们经常担心，儿童，尤其是大龄儿童的正常和情感需求得不到满足。许多在这些机构参加活动的儿童并不知道自己的诊断情况或参加这些中心的原因。文中讨论了志愿部门和法定部门未来的服务发展将如何满足受感染和受影响儿童的具体和不断变化的需求。
